ear Colleagues,

Safran has made a very firm commitment this year to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. This target reflects our resolve to play an active role in this global movement, based on the Paris Climate Agreement, to address the climate emergency.

The environment is now Safran’s top strategic priority, not only in terms of reducing the CO2 emissions of our products and operations, but also by improving the energy efficiency of our products — as demonstrated by the Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines (RISE) technology program launched in June with GE Aviation to prepare the next generation of airplane engines.

ut our responsibilities as a company go even further, to include fostering diversity, providing access to learning, acting ethically and supporting research. Our new corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy, “Engage for the future”, formally sets out our commitments and objectives in all these areas, and more. Built around tangible and measurable objectives and commitments, this strategy will enable us to strengthen our positive impact on society. As its name implies, “Engage for the future” embodies the drive for us all to work together to achieve this. Furthermore, our new strategy was developed in collaboration with our stakeholders, the aim being to further bolster our ties by enhancing our image as a responsible corporate citizen, not just among our employees but also among recent graduates and the general public to help counter the current “flight shame” trend.

We have already launched a number of tangible initiatives — some described in the following pages — and I can only encourage all of you to ask yourselves how you can make a real contribution to this essential dynamic, which will allow us to meet the challenges facing us today, and in the years to come.
